Good night pookadoo:)

You made my day at bedtime when you and i hugged each other and swayed before i put you into your crib. When i would try to put you in bed you would hold my neck that much tighter:)I love you so much- you totally have my heart! I cant let you know that, but i hate to see when you are sad. But fortunately you are a happy little girl. You are my sweetie pie. I am so glad we arent sick anymore and i can love all over you.

Another extended weekend!

Hi Abby! You were sick yesterday so I got to stay home with you! I think you are feeling better today. Friday night you stayed with ma and pa so I loved getting to spend the extra time with you. We got you a dollhouse this weekend, it is so cute. You have watched Barney somewhere because you saw him on tv and got so excited. You call him "Marney" and get pretty mad when I dont realize what you are saying! I love you, sweet baby! You were awake before i left for work today so i got you up and put you in bed with daddy to watch Barney and you said "shh" so i wouldnt wake up daddy:$

Hi sweetie!

We have had a great day! We went to the Y and now youre having apples, carrots and waffles!

Good night sweet baby!

Even though I am typing on a tiny ipod keyboard, I like the new on the go Abby journal! I get a lot more opportunities to write- the only drawback being more typos!

Tonight, i picked you up after work from Lois Vollmer, your winter fill-in sitter. You have been going there for three weeks and you are always a super happy baby when i come to get you! She watches a lot of kids that you love to play with.

After you had some dinner we went to the Y so I could work out. You played in the child center and were sitting on the lap of a very sweet older lady and you were reading a book. Everyone knows your name and is really excited to see you there. I found you in the same old lady's lap last time we went to the Y reading a book. You are so sweet. Tonight, our neighbor Tasha brought us some clothes and you gave her very sweet hugs.
You are my little buddy! We went to Ikea last night and you spent some time out of the cart holding my hand and walking around-I cant believe you are so big! You are either becoming a much better listener or just aren't (teething/sick/any other unfun feeling) because you have become such a sweet little girl. You say "awww" to your stuffed animals, and made two of them kiss at Ikea. You ask for and give great big squeezes of hugs. You give wonderful hugs.
It's late and my bath water has run our. I'm laying in a cold empty tub now so I am signing off to warm up and head to bed.

Goodnight Abby, I love you so much

A great long weekend

Hi Abby! Thanks to a stubborn case of bronchitis, i got an extra day and a half with you yesterday and the day before! I got to see you this morning before i left for work and you were so sweet! You asked for a hug, and squeezed my neck all cuddly and patted my back during:) i miss you! You are so smart. This weekend was grandpa orlins 79th birthday party, and you loved getting to see him, grandma and grandpa. You played really well with all of the kids. You are kinda mean to your big brother Aiden- you gave him a bloody nose and then grabbed it and twisted! I love you so much- it might be another quiet night tonight since I'm still getting better, but starting tomorrow we will have to start going to the Y again after work- you love going there to play while i work out! This weekend dad is off with us so we will have to go do something fun!
